DIOVAN HCT (HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE; VALSARTAN): This drug is used to treat high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This product contains two medications: valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide. Valsartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) and works by relaxing blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily. Hydrochlorothiazide is a "water pill" (diuretic) that causes you to make more urine, which helps your body get rid of extra salt and water. FDA Approval Date: 2006-04-28 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
